The Drop 2025 - Ripple summaries
We need more time...how to geo-engineer us out of this mess
This conversation was about the world of geoengineering, with folks sharing stories and worries about ways to cool down the Earth. From giant sunshades in space to making clouds more reflective, the team broke down what’s actually possible and where things could go sideways.
Some takeaways and conclusions:
Geoengineering might be needed soon, but it comes with a lot of risk and debate.
Who controls the tech and pays the bills is a big, unsolved question.
These solutions raise tough issues for governments, companies, and regular people.
Decarbonization stays important, tech fixes aren’t enough.
Real progress will take bold action, global teamwork, and clear rules.
The Ripple showed how complicated fixing the climate can get, mixing science, business, and politics. The chat ended with a call for more open talks and real-life research before anything big rolls out.
